[This is] a record of the family background of Jesus Christ, the descendant of David, who was the descendant of Abraham. [Note: The following is an incomplete lineage through Jesus' step-father Joseph].

and Jacob became the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary by whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ.

Now the birth of Jesus Christ occurred in this way. His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, [but] before they came together, she was found {to be pregnant} by the Holy Spirit.

So Joseph her husband, being righteous and not wanting to disgrace her, intended to divorce her secretly.

But [as] he was considering these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, "Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary [as] your wife, for what has been conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.

"Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary your wife home, for what is begotten in her is by the Holy Spirit; and she will bear a son, and you are to call him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."

And Joseph, [when he] woke up from sleep, did as the angel of the Lord commanded him, and he took his wife

Now [after] they had gone away, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph, saying, "Get up, take the child and his mother and flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you. For Herod is about to seek the child to destroy him."

So Joseph got up and took the Child and His mother while it was still night, and left for Egypt.

Now [after] Herod had died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,

So Joseph got up, took the Child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel.

Is not this one the son of the carpenter? Is not his mother called Mary and his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?

among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

Now [when it] was evening, a rich man from Arimathea named Joseph came, who also was a disciple of Jesus himself.

And Joseph took the body [and] wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,

So Joseph took the body, and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut in the rock; and after rolling a great stone against the opening of the tomb, he went away.

Is not this that carpenter: Mary's son, the brother of James, and Joseph and of Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?" And they were offended by the reason of him.

There were also women a good way off beholding him: among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the little and of Joseph, and Mary Salome:

There came Joseph of Arimathaea, a responsible man in high honour, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God; and he went in to Pilate without fear, and made a request for the body of Jesus.

And when he had news of it from the captain, he let Joseph have the body.

Joseph bought a linen cloth, took Him down, wrapped Him in the linen cloth and laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn out in the rock; and he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb.

And Mary Magdalene and Mary Joseph beheld where he was laid.

And when the Sabbath day was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary Joseph, and Salome, bought ointments, that they might come and anoint him.

To a virgin who was to be married to a man named Joseph, of the family of David; and the name of the virgin was Mary.

And Joseph went up from Galilee, out of the town of Nazareth, into Judaea, to Beth-lehem, the town of David, because he was of the house and family of David,

And they came quickly, and saw Mary and Joseph, and the child in the place where the cattle had their food.

Now when the time came for their purification according to the law of Moses, Joseph and Mary brought Jesus up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord

And he was led by the Holy Spirit into the Temple, and when Joseph and Mary brought the baby Jesus in, so they could do to Him what was customary under the law of Moses,

And Joseph and his mother marvelled at those things which were spoken of him.

And Joseph and his mother were marveling at the things being spoken about him.

So when Joseph and Mary had performed everything according to the law of the Lord, they returned to Galilee, to their own town of Nazareth.

and having fulfilled the days, during their return the boy Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem. And Joseph and his mother did not know it,

when Joseph and his mother saw him, great was their surprize: and his mother said to him, son, why did you leave us thus? your father and I have been looking for you with great concern.

And Jesus at this time was about thirty years old, being the son (as it seemed) of Joseph, the son of Heli,

The son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Jannai, the son of Joseph,

the son of Joseph, The son of Mattathias, the son of Amos, the son of Nahum,

of Maath, of Mattathias, of Semei, of Joseph, of Juda,

The son of Symeon, the son of Judas, the son of Joseph, the son of Jonam, the son of Eliakim,

And they were all giving witness, with wonder, to the words of grace which came from his mouth: and they said, Is not this the son of Joseph?

Now there was a man named Joseph, a member of the Council, a good and righteous man,

And behold, a man named Joseph, who was a councillor, a good and righteous man

[So], Joseph went to [governor] Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus.

So the women, who had come with Jesus from Galilee, followed closely after Joseph and saw the tomb and how His body was laid there.

It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary Joseph; And others that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles,

Philip meeting with Nathanael, said to him, we have found him of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

Philip found Nathaniel, and said to him: We have found him of whom Moses in the law and the prophets did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the SOD of Joseph.

he came to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the piece of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? how doth he now say, I am come down out of heaven?

Now standing near Jesus' cross were His mother; His mother's sister [i.e., Salome, the mother of James and John, the sons of Zebedee. See Matt. 27:55; Mark 15:40]; Mary the wife of Clopas [i.e., the mother of James and Joseph. See Matt. 27:55]; and Mary, from Magdala.

And after these things did Joseph of Arimathea -- being a disciple of Jesus, but concealed, through the fear of the Jews -- ask of Pilate, that he may take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave leave; he came, therefore, and took away the body of Jesus,

Nicodemus, the man who had previously come to Jesus at night, accompanied Joseph, carrying a mixture of myrrh and aloes weighing about seventy-five pounds.

So they proposed two: Joseph, called Barsabbas, who was also known as Justus, and Matthias.

Joseph, a Levite and a Cypriot by birth, the one the apostles called Barnabas, which is translated Son of Encouragement,

“The patriarchs became jealous of Joseph and sold him into Egypt, but God was with him

and delivered him from all his troubles, and allowed him to win favor and to show wisdom before Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and so he appointed Joseph governor of Egypt and of his whole household.

The second time, Joseph was revealed to his brothers, and Joseph’s family became known to Pharaoh.

Joseph then invited his father Jacob and all his relatives, 75 people in all,

and [from Egypt] their bodies were taken back to Shechem and placed in the tomb which Abraham had purchased for a sum of money from the sons of Hamor in Shechem.

And when the time of the promise which God had sworn to Abraham drew near, the people grew and multiplied in Egypt, Till another king arose, who had not known Joseph.

until a different king who did not know Joseph ruled over Egypt.

Do we not have the right to take a believing [i.e., a Christian] wife with us [on our preaching tours], just like the rest of the apostles, and the Lord's brothers do [i.e., James, Joseph, Judas and Simon. Mark 6:3], and Cephas [i.e., Peter]?

By faith Jacob, when he was dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph; and worshipped, leaning upon the top of his staff.

By faith Joseph, when his end was nigh, made mention of the departure of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones.

twelve thousand from the tribe of Zebulun, twelve thousand from the tribe of Joseph, twelve thousand from the tribe of Benjamin, were sealed.
